'World of Dance' Duels: French dance troupe Geometrie Variable blow away judges with their amazing moves
True to their name, French dance troupe Geometrie Variable dance by creating stunning geometric visuals with their bodies. The dancing trio, who were once plumber, electrician, and a salesperson, made the bold decision to quit their day job and focus on pursuing their passion for dancing.
When they performed during the qualifiers round, the judges unanimously gave them their seal of approval for proceeding to the duels round. But they couldn't help but wonder how much more innovation was possible when it comes to creating interesting geometric patterns with their bodies.
So for the duels round, they paired Geometrie Variable with Dutch dance group Oxygen. Both the groups are known for their stunning formations and kaleidoscopic movements. So it seemed like the perfect match between both the European dance groups. It was Geometrie Variable's turn to go first. The trio managed to set the stage on fire with their brilliant performance to 'Never be Like You' track by Flume and Kai. They brought in some real unique moves that left the judges stumped. Ne-Yo was so impressed that he ran onto the stage and gave a quick round of hi-5 to the dancers, while the other judges kept shouting "that was amazing".
Ne-Yo said he couldn't find a single thing to critique the group's performance. Jennifer Lopez expressed her surprise at the group's innovative performance and how they managed to incorporate a million new things into their routine and left everybody surprised. Derek Hough described the trio's performance as "surgical" while explaining how every movement was precise and perfectly executed.
The judges were especially impressed with a move which involved one of the dancers pressing his chin against another dancer's arm. The judges playfully tried recreating it but failed. Guest judges Twitch couldn't stop praising the dancers for their beautiful choreography and declared that he was proud to be a dancer after watching their performance.
The judges finally picked Geometrie Variable over Oxygen for the semi-finals round and we weren't surprised at all. We can't wait to watch the trio's future performances and just like JLo, even we are excited to see what new moves they will come up with.
'World of Dance' Season 4 airs every Wednesday at 10/ 9 c only on NBC.
